Installation of R Statistical Software

[PeregrinGo]

Hi all,

I have tried and tried to install "R" using all of the readmes and tutorials I could, but nothing works because I always end up with the same errors. I thought I should just show you what it all looks like in the terminal to see if that can provide anyone with enough insight to shed some light on the situation. I really want / could use this program, but I just can't seem to get it installed. Please help!

Open a terminal and add the key by typing

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 8B9FBE5158B3AFA9
gpg --export --armor 8B9FBE5158B3AFA9 | sudo apt-key add -
then do the same for the second one

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 60D11217247D1CFF
gpg --export --armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -

Thanks so much, this worked like a charm! Now I am installing the JGR interface. Does anyone know if it's possible to open R (via the GUI) with a shortcut instead of the terminal?

[Partyboi2]

You could try using RKWard (http://rkward.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=General_FAQ) as a GUI.

Thanks, yet again. I'm hoping I can get going with R pretty quickly. The Rkward interface doesn't look too difficult to use, and I already downloaded some user guides. It seems like this is probably closer to SPSS than SAS, is that right? I'm actually pretty new to statistics, but I'm really to happy to have a way to analyze data in Linux!
